A Japanese Prison,

The main prison in Kajibashi is situa-
ted in a central place of the capital,
Toxic. and is under the direct control of
the Minister of the Interior. The build
ing is two stories high, and made in the
shape of cross. In each story there
are 40 cages, making so cages in all.
Each cage is nine feet square. The jap
panese government manages to keep many
prisoners in this prison for two or three
years without any public trial. Each
cage generally contains ten or eleven
prisoners, who eat and sleep in this small
box. Or, perhaps, it is better to say the
prisoners try to sleep, heaped up one over
the other.
There are always from 800 to 900
prisoners kept in this way. Many be-
come sick, and some die. The outside
of each cage is protected by strong
wooden frame. The frame itself be-
comes a door to let the prisoners in and
out. The side facing the yards has a
large window, protected with an iron
frame, of which the door must not be
closed without the permission of the
officials, even in the severest winter
nights. This is a common occurrence
that prisoners are found covered with
snow. The most of the prisoners have
no means of communicating with their
friends. When they are arrested the
government spy or police tell them that
they need not bring any money with
them, as they will be sent back to their
homes in few minutes. When they go
to the prison they are kept there six
months at least. During this time, if
they have any money to pay postage,
they are permitted to send their letters;
but if they have no money no letter can
be sent by public expense. They are
never permitted to see their friends until
the judge of secret examination makes
up his mind to send prisoner to the
court of public trial. Il Washington Star.

A City's Car Horses.

When it is written that the BROOKLYN
City owns over 2,7OO horses and that
each horse costs 30 cents day, some
idea of the magnitude of the expense
can be figured. 1t will be seen that at
this rate over $500 is spent on
maintenance alone. 1t is claimed, and
probably justly, that car horse re-
ceives better treatment than an animal
driven to private conveyance. All the
stables of the Brooklyn City are well
ventilated. Air is permitted to enter
from the top and sides, while there is a
draft through the long corridor in front
of each row of stalls. Over the stall of
each horse is a placard, giving the occu-
pants age, cost, where purchased and
few other particulars. A space is left
for the animals death, the rate of the
latter being about two per cent. yearly.
If faults can be found with the general
workings of the Brooklyn City railroad
company it cannot be said that those
employees in the stable are open to CEN
sure Brooklyn Eagle.

Walking Sticks.

To break off branch for defensive
purposes, as Crusoe did on finding him
self on an unknown island, would be one
of the first acts of primitive man. A
rude support of this kind would soon be
followed by the pilgrims staff, familiar
to us in the pictures of the patriarchs;
and from these early slaves down to the
gold headed cane of our modern dandy,
what variety of walking sticks have
been produced, according to the fancy
and fashion of the time. When in 1901,
footmen attending gentlemen were for
hidden to carry swords, those quarrel
some weapons were usually replaced by
a porter's staff, with large silver handle,
as it was then described. Thirty years
later gentlemen were forbidden to carry
swords and to carry large oak sticks,
with great heads and ugly faces carved
thereon. Before very long competi-
tion arose between long and short walk
ing sticks; some gentlemen liked them
long as leaping poles, as a satirist of the
day tells us, while others preferred a
yard of vanished cane ''scraped taper,
bound at one end with wax taper, and
tipped at the other with neat turned
ivory head as big as silver penny. y.

A Fish That Haunts Wrecks.

In passing the tug Effort huge
brownish kind of fish was seen tied to
the gunwale Quite crowd was gath
cred about surveying the fish, which
lashed the water angrily with its tail.
The fish was caught outside yesterday by
Mr. Charles Miller and left tied to the
Effort. "That," said the reporters COM
panlon, sis the junefsh, or Jewish, as
some will persist in calling them. How
the term of Jewish was ever applied to
it l am at loss to imagine, but the other
term is easily explained. A june
fish was never known to be
caught in the bay or Gulf unless the
month was June; that is, they do not
appear until that month, and may be
caught afterward all summer. They
are always haunting old wrecks, sunkcn
piling, and frequently come around the
wharvcs. Sunken wrecks, however,
seem to hold peculiar fascination for
them as it is there they are mostly
caught. They can be caught right now
at the wreck of the old Westfield off the
southeast end of Pelican Spit. This
place was formerly well supplied with
fish of all kinds, but lately they are not
plentiful there by any means. Junetish
are abundant off Indianola, where there
are good many old wrecks imbedded
in the bottom of the Gulf. These
wrecks were caused by the great storm
of 1875, and the junetish haunt them by
day and night. They can always be
caught there with the proper bait

Effect of Certain 0dOrs.

The aroma of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma of black walnut
leaves is fatal to fleas. 1t is matter of
common observation that persons en-
gagged in the business of making shingles
from odoriferous cypress timber in ma
larial districts are rarely, if ever, affect
ed by malarial diseases, and that persons
engaged in gathering and distilling tur-
pentine do not suffer from either mala-
rial diseases or consumption. 1t is said
that when cholera was epidemic in Men,
phis, Tenn, persons working in livery
stables were entirely exempt from it. 1t
is affirmed that since the destruction of
the Glove trees on the island of Ternate
the colony has suffered from epidemics
unknown before; and in times when
cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris those employed in the perfumery
factories have escaped its ravages.-

An Ingenious OriOle.

1t is curious what variety of materl
ais Baltimore orioles will use in the con-
struction of their nests In the lawn of
one of the prctticst homes in the State Of
Maryland pair of orioles selected tree
in which to build. 1t was large fir
tree, about As feet from the house. The
lady of the house was sewing by one of
the windows opposite this tree early one
beautiful summer morning, and, on be-
ing called away to some other room, she
placed her spool of cotton on the win
dow sill. When she returned she found
the spool was gone, and on looking for
it discovered it on the floor of the porch
which was just outside of the window.
She found that considerable length of
the cotton was unwound, and looking
for the end of it she traced it up to the
nest of the oriole, and saw the bird
busily weaving it into the nest. The
lady placed the spool in the window,
and it was shown as curiosity to all
who visited the house. St. Nicholas.

Senator Fairs Skull.

The Chicago Times tells the following
story of Senator Fair: A number of
years ago, when he was engaged in
actively experimenting one of his min
ing properties, he directed the boss in
one of his mines to have a wrought-iron
crank made at certain angle. This
foreman told him it was impossible.
Mr.. Fair then went into the works at
the mouth of the mine, put on work
mans apron and cap and began the
work of making the crank himself, at
the angle which he had described. The
foreman in charge Of the room, coming
around, saw workman, as he supposed,
disobeying orders in wasting property
by trying to make what had already
been declared to be au impossibility

the amateur workman down, Just
rs he was completing the piece of work.
This blow fractured Fairs skull. His
life was saved only through trepanning
Mr.. Fair to-day has small silver plate

recovered he felt very uncomfortable.
He felt symptoms of a brain trouble.
After time he went back to the surgeon
and said: 81 am certain that that job
was not we'll done; there is splinter
eft in that wouud-I can feel the prick
of it." The surgeon at first would not
listen to Mr. Fair, but he insisted on
having it done over again The surgeon
then discovered that there was splinter,
and that if the senator had not himself
discovered the cause of his trouble, his
brain would have been affected in short
time beyond the hope of recovery.

The Discoyerer of Spectacles.

Fewer inventions have conferred a
greater blessing on the human race than
that which assists impaired vision. DR..
johnson rightly expressed his surprise
that such a benefactor as the discoverer
of spectacles should have been regarded
with indifference, and found no worthy
biographer to celebrate his ingenuity.
Unfortunately, however, his name is a
matter of much uncertainty; and, hence,
grateful posterity have been prevented
from bestowing upon his memory that
honor which it has so richly merited.
But it may be noted that popular opin-
ion has long ago pronounced in favor of
Spina, Florentinc monk, as the right
full claimant, although some are in favor
of Roger Bacon. Monsieur Spoon in his
'Researches Curieuses dAntiduite" fixes
the date of the invention of spcctacles be-
tween the years 1880 and 1911, and says
that Alexander de Spina, having seen a
pair made by some other person, who
was unwilling to communicate the secret
of their construction, ordered pair for
himself, and found them so useful that
he cheerfully and promptly made the
invention public. According to an
Italian antiquary, the person to whom
Spina was indebted for his information
was Salvino, who died in the year 1918,
and he quotes from a manuscript in his
possession an epitaph which records the
circumstances: "Here lies Salvino Ar

tor of spectacles. May God pardon his
